It's up to the release manager now to decide whether the pitchforks at Google or the pitchforks in the larger Python community are sharper. ;-)

I just posted a patch intended to solve this. With my patch, findmodule() collects the warnings in a list and only generates ImportWarning if no package is found. It works, but I have not done extensive testing. I also discovered and tried to resolve what appear to be memory leaks involving the "copy" variable. If the ImportWarning patch doesn't fly, I'll be happy to post a different patch that only fixes the leaks. The patch is #1515361: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1515361&groupid=5470&atid=305470 Shane
